ADMINISTRATION INTRODUCES NATIONAL SERVICE LEGISLATION;
INITIATIVE GAINS EARLY BI-PARTISAN SUPPORT

The Administration's National Service Trust Act of 1993 was
introduced yesterday with significant bi-partisan support in both
Houses of Congress.

Among the first-day cosponsors of the legislation were 18
Senators (14 Democrats and 4 Republicans) and 147 House Members
(128 Democrats and 19 Republicans).

"We are pleased by the support our national service
legislation is gaining on both sides of the political aisle, and
we will continue to work hard over the next days and weeks to
reach all Members of Congress -- Democrats and Republicans
alike," said Eli Segal, Assistant to the President and Director
of the Office of National Service. "National Service is not
about politics; it is about basic goals that all of us share."
